Fantagraphics is proud to welcome the great Inio Asano (Its a brilliant piece of psychological horror that is both deeply intimate yet expansive in scope, with a large cast of characters that are sucked into the terror in different ways. The cyclical, abstract story is challenging, but greatly rewards rereading, and its easy to get lost in Asanos intricate art, which does outstanding work realizing the setting that is so important to the plot.This beautifully drawn but elliptically told story is almost relentless in its depiction of the evil that lurks behind everyday life, but its impossible to put down. Fable and film-noir crime mix in a small town where the children believe a beast living in a tunnel is a sign of the end of the world, and adults cope with the aftereffects of a hideous crime. This is a book that rewards repeated readings&In this manga, acclaimed cartoonist Asano tells a complex, oblique tale about how an tense atmosphere, symbolized by proliferating butterflies, lead schoolchildren to sacrifice a fellow student, and how that act impacts various characters across two timelines.
